[edit] History


The site of the new hotel is currently a parking lot

On August 26, 2005, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that a real estate deal appeared finalized for the first major construction project in the New Orleans CBD in 25 years, the Trump International Hotel and Tower New Orleans.

Initially, the project was slated to break ground early in 2006. The project, however, became quickly obscured by the events of Hurricane Katrina. Trump reaffirmed his support for the project shortly following the storm without setting a specific time line for construction. Local business leaders have hailed the move as a positive step in attracting business to the city.

On March 15, 2007, the New Orleans City Council officially approved the tower for construction. [1]

Condo Documents are currently being completed for which officials see completion in about 60 days. They should be going to hard contract in around 90 days and groundbreaking should be in the summer of 2008. [2]

[edit] Architecture

The design of the building is strikingly similar to other Trump tower projects, especially the currently under-construction Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago.
